Bookseller Notes

An excellent set of Sassoon's celebrated memoirs, beginning in childhood but dominated by the Great War; the veil of anonymity established in the first volume, is partially lifted in the second volume, where the author's identity is disclosed on the binding and dustjacket (but not on the title-page), and entirely by the time of the last instalment.

Description
